It was quite the nightmare day — BUT, I appreciate that we LUCKED OUT, BIG TIME. It could have been worse! I see that there are a lot of folks still without power. I truly feel bad for them. Even an hour after our power was restored at 1:09pm there were folks 1/2 mile away without power.
Two very kind folks, my young next door neighbor (Anthony (who is constantly helping me out)) & a total stranger who was plowing a driveway 2 -houses from us helped us clear away the BIG branch that was blocking our drive. They wielded chainsaws. Teischan, though still not well, hauled away all the bits while I was struggling with the snowblowers. By the time I was done she had cleared all the debris. That was pretty amazing. The gentleman who helped me out & also plowed the top of our drive to make things easier for us was Mr. Dan LaCroix. Thank you. He & Anthony saved our day.
It was wet, heavy snow like wet concrete. Clogged up the snowblowers. Glad I have two!
Well, we survived. It wasn’t a fun day. Between hauling the two generators (with help), plowing the drive (some of it by hand) & getting the branch taken down that was a lot of physical work. This is when I am glad that I am a tad fit.
Appears we have another storm a coming same time next week. Oh, what fun!
